The Korean government tried to do this for decades, banning basically everything Japanese, but the second it got rid of the bans, Pokemon were everywhere, manga were everywhere, Koreans started aping the Japanese entertainment industry, which is how kpop came into existence, Hatsune Miko gets train stations decorated with her likeness, Ayame, all memes aside, gets flooded with Korean fan letters...
The Korean government loves pretending that Korea is too cool for weeb shit.
The consumers disagree.
Hence also Nabi, Ina, Kronii, Altare, and I think there's a gook in Advent, too?
